When it comes to quickly culling, editing, and exporting large groups of photographs, most professional photographers are using Adobe Lightroom. The problem is that most photographers have been using the same features for the last 10 years, choosing to do quick global edits in Lightroom and then importing one image at a time into Photoshop for more detailed retouching. You may think you know how to use Adobe Lightroom, but if you're not taking advantage of the powerful new features that have been released in the last few months, you're wasting hours editing every single job. In this tutorial, Pye Jirsa is going to teach you everything about Adobe Lightroom. You will learn the basics of the software, his studio's comprehensive time-saving workflow, and detailed retouching techniques. You will learn about every incredible new feature in Lightroom that will take seconds rather than minutes in Photoshop. Although most of the tutorial will be spent in "Lightroom Classic," Pye will also be teaching the benefits of Lightroom Cloud and Lightroom Mobile as well. By the end of this tutorial, you should be able to do final edits of 75-100 images/hour without ever leaving Lightroom

Who Is Pye Jirsa?

Many people know Pye as a leading photography educator from SLR Lounge, but he is also a partner in one most successful wedding photography studios in the United States, Lin and Jirsa Photography. He and his team have built a multi-seven-figure business and shoot hundreds of weddings and events every year. Needless to say, with over 2-3 million images taken every year, Pye has had to develop an incredibly efficient and effective post-processing system to help his lead photographers and editors develop all of the images taken at these weddings. Despite the huge volume of images, Pye and his team continue to publish award-winning images, push the boundaries of wedding photography, and continue to educate new and veteran wedding photographers both online and in person.

If those numbers blow your mind, you are probably wondering how Pye can edit so quickly while still maintaining incredible results? When Pye asked us if we wanted to partner up in producing a tutorial that covers his entire Lightroom advanced image processing, it was a no-brainer for us.
